Dear Pauline and the entire Maas Family,

Words fail to express the emotion I feel with the passing of such a great guy. Though I am far away, I join you in your sorrow and deep sense of loss.

I played only a small role in Mike's life, but his departure leaves a big hole in mine. Thank you for sharing him. I have great memories of the time we spent together.

Mike was like a son to me. Like a brother. He was my buddy and he will be sorely missed.

Pauline, Alyssa and Phillip - Words will never help ease the pain you must be experiencing with the loss of Mike. My prayer is that God's Spirit will lift you and hold you in His presence to help ease your pain. I worked with Mike for many years at Renold and Mike always lifted my spirit and helped me in so many ways. Mike was a true gentleman who was dependable - sincere - and could always help make tough situations better. I will always remember Mike for the "quality" person he was. May God be with you always.
